JAKARTA - Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka criticized the 2022 World Cup Ambassador in Qatar, Khalid Salman. This is related to the ambassador's attitude against LGBT.

Quoted from Fox Sport, Goretzka said Khalid's attitude included oppression of certain groups. For this reason, the German player also considered Khalid's attitude outdated.

That's oppression. This is a manifestation of people coming from other millennials, Goretzka district.

"I can't speak that statement (LGBT counter) was made by the World Cup Ambassador just before the World Cup took place," Goretzka continued.

The satire made by Goretzka was triggered by Khalid's statement in an interview on German television. Khalid previously openly called homosexuals a haram thing which later became a polemic for German citizens.

On the same occasion Khalid also emphasized that everyone who comes to Qatar during the World Cup must comply with applicable local regulations.

"They have to accept our rules here. That (homosexuality) is haram. Do you know what haram means?" Salman said.

"I'm not a strict Muslim but why is it haram? Because it is a form of damage in the mind," he added.

Khalid's remarks were then also responded to by the German Sports Minister, Nancy Faeser.

"Of course comments like that are very bad and it could be the reason why we have to fix a few things in Qatar for the future," said Faeser.
